1. What reaction involving amines is required to produce N-Propylcycloheptanamine? Propose a synthesis and mechanism2. Is the reaction below favorable or unfavorable? State your reasons.
When an α-hydroxy amide is treated with Br2 in aqueous NaOH under Hofmann rearrangement conditions, loss of CO2 occurs and a chain-shortened aldehyde is formed. The mechanism involves the following steps:
Base abstracts an acidic amide proton, yielding amide anion 1;
The amide anion reacts with bromine in an α-substitution reaction to give N-bromoamide 2.
Abstraction of the remaining amide proton by base gives a resonance-stabilized bromoamide anion 3;
Rearrangement occurs to yield isocyanate 4;
Water adds to the isocyanate to yield carbamic acid 5;
Elimination of CO2 yields carbinolamine 6;
Following proton transfer, expulsion of ammonia yields the final product aldehyde.
Write out the mechanism
and then draw the structures of bromoamide anion 3 and amide anion 1.
